We guess Marques Houston subscribes to the previous philosophy that the very best protection is an effective offense. Because what he simply mentioned in protection of his controversial relationship? It’s fairly damned offensive!
For those that don’t know, the Sister, Sister star drew a ton of controversy a pair years again when he revealed he was getting married to a 19-12 months-previous. The former youngster star was 38 on the time, actually twice Miya Dickey‘s age — but even ickier to many was the fact they’d already been collectively for a 12 months. They went public with their relationship simply THREE WEEKS after she turned 18. He was 37. Yowza.

So at the easiest, they met just like the precise second Miya turned 18 and fell in love immediately, going IG official in simply days. At finest that’s what occurred. There was fairly a little bit of discuss on the time that it was worse than all that. According to an investigation by MTO News, across the time of the engagement announcement, somebody named “Miyana Dickey” had been lacking since she was 15 — and a “Miyana Dickey” had been listed on a minimum of one among Marques’ initiatives on IMDB earlier than 2018. That itemizing has since been erased. Marques claimed on the time that was an error, probably an intentional one, writing on social media:
“I met Miya in 2018 through a mutual friend. Never before then, did I even know she existed. The fact that she was listed on one of our films was a misprint or someone being messy. Anyone can post on IMDB … Miya and I didn’t start dating until she was an adult.”
Messy stuff. But transferring on to the current…
There doesn’t appear to be any concrete proof Miya is “Miyana,” nor that Marques and Miya have been collectively earlier than she turned 18 — however they’ve been collectively ever since. They even welcomed a baby collectively in 2021. Now the R&B singer is 41, and his spouse is 22 — so he isn’t even twice her age anymore! But he nonetheless finds the necessity to defend their union apparently.
Speaking to Page Six on Tuesday, he did so by placing the blame on ladies his personal age. He mentioned they have an inclination to have an excessive amount of “baggage.” He additionally mentioned, unbelievably:
“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid. Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.”
Wow. Wow wow wow.
How you assume these ladies change into single moms, Marques? An incredible many get used and excused by guys who would fairly hook up with youthful ladies!
Marques tried so as to add one thing constructive — however finally simply confirmed off the place the toxicity got here from. He mentioned:
“I tip my hat and respect women that are raising children on their own. But when I grew up, I never really wanted to have kids. I would talk to my dad a lot, and he would always tell me to have your own kids because you never know what the baby daddys are about. So if you’re gonna have kids, make sure it is with a woman that never had kids. So that was always my red flag… and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes.”
Something tells us Marques comes throughout lots of “funky attitudes” amongst folks he offends. Just sayin.’

On his marriage, the actor defined why he nonetheless believes he made the best selection — and never simply due to real love, he really thinks he was being secure right here:
“I’m 41, she is 22. I could’ve married a 44-year-old woman, and it could’ve been disastrous. Women that are my age… they kind of have a different outlook on life. Like a lot of women my age are very independent. They are very like, ‘I don’t need a man to do this for me ’cause I can do it for myself.’ I come from a generation that I love to provide for my wife.”
LOLz, sure, he actually comes from a special era from his spouse. The identical one as her dad, more than likely… He lastly acquired romantic — or his model anyway, saying:
“There’s a lot of women my age I’ve dated, they may have baggage. They may have kids, they may not. There’s so many different women I’ve been with throughout my life, and it just so happens to be that this one caught my heart. Everything that I prayed for — and everything that I wanted in a woman — she came with. Although she was young, I’m young in spirit.”
Right, the whole lot he was praying for — which, if we’re studying accurately right here, is no baggage, no youngsters, no perspective, no impartial spirit.
Frankly, if we have been Marques’ spouse, we’d take all of this as a giant ol’ crimson flag. After all, yesterday’s teenagers and at the moment’s 23-12 months-olds are tomorrow’s 40-12 months-previous single mothers. You know, when their males transfer on to the youthful mannequin…
What do YOU consider all this, Perezcious readers??
